In 1975, Watermelon Man by Cannonball Adderley had been someone our high school band teacher listened then wrote the music for our high school jazz band while never forgetting the marching band playing Watermelon Man in the center of a county fairground horse show oval mixing jazz with unbridled spirited cavalry especially within the Commonwealth of #Kentucky Greenup County Greenup Tigers, music is best here! thank you kindly for sharing this amazing session. 🐬
@@jamescurran9002 THANKS I WILL CHECK THAT OUT, NO DOUBT ABOUT IT. THE SONG WAS TRANSCRIBED BY EAR WHILE SITTING WITH HIM, SEVERAL OF US, WHILE IT WAS GREAT IN A SMALL MARCHING BAND SHOW WITHIN THE COUNTY FARIGROUNDS TRACK WHERE THE FINE TROTTERS HAVE HORSE SHOWS, THANKS AGAIN. MUSIC IS BEST. LOVE IT! KEVIN CALLIHAN 🐬
These masters of their art are just my era of music. I was Nineteen at the time and was lucky enough to see every one of these gentleman at that time. Thank you for the rebroadcast
According to Rahsaan Roland Kirk's wikipedia page, in 1975 (same year as this show), _"Kirk suffered a major stroke which led to partial paralysis of one side of his body. He continued to perform and record, modifying his instruments to enable him to play with one arm.... He died from a second stroke in 1977, aged 42...."_ Lots of other interesting info on his wiki page, including the fact that Jay Leno used to open for him.
The three who gave a thumbs down must be deaf...was lucky to see Weather Report twice also Sonny Rollins and McCoy Tyner this was truly a great show thank you for posting
This is an amazing, historic show. Thanks for this. I was not surprised that Chick Corea took top honors on electric piano, but I was surprised to hear Quincy say this was the first year they *had* an electric piano category. Wow. I imagine it was similar for electric bass, but I don't know what year they created that category. And this show started my obsession with Rahsaan Roland Kirk, as well. And my first introduction to Weather Report. Airto's amazing solo during Hubbard's tune. I mean -- truly a life-changing show for me.
Agree. But it's also too bad they didn't get the next incarnation of Weather Report in the 1976 awards show.. Jaco would have blown the roof off the place. That said, Stanley Clarke in 1976 was still one of the most exciting bass players on the planet. As you can see from his playing on Lopsy Lu in the 1976 show. What a great time for jazz and fusion. oh my.
You know, if Jesus Christ had his second coming and appeared on TV to tell everyone about it but he happened to have gum in his mouth, people would be like, "my God, what an inconsiderate gross rapscallion"

but Herbie Hancock. best weigh this for a bit. 🐬
I thought Herbie Hancock wrote Watrrmelon Man.
The song they open with is Work Song, and that WAS written by Cannonball.
And your Band Teacher introduced you and uour classmates to Jazz.

The magic of youtube..
On a tuesday afternoon,you discover that this is out there..
All the giants..
Massive talent 👏
The tremendously great and extremely underrated Alphonso Johnson on fretless bass with Weather Report.
Totally agree - many think that Jaco was the master of that staccato walking funk style of playing but Alphonso already had it down!
@@fusionfan6883 yes he totally did.

I almost forgot about this type of comment. Actually kind of makes me *glad* the "thumbs up/down" feature is gone.
I remember when this show first aired. What a psych! Thanks for posting this.
Freddie and Airto can't be beat! Man I was stunned seeing this back then. Two great CTI artists, I remain a huge fan of both.

Chick should have brought bubblegum enough for everybody…
I can't believe no one told him to take that out of his mouth! Maybe he had a dry mouth condition...
so few cats could ever make sonny rollins sound so mild.......
Wow, Stanley was just a baby, lol, years later still kickin ass.
THANK YOU !
This is so crazy hot!
Thank you so much! Great to see Weather Report 75 version.
RTF...right?
Ameer Sephora yea, actually both bands but WR at 35:50 Badia
@@flame-sky7148 i guess "Badia" is what they were playing?
Ameer Sephora correct 👍🏽

3:00_3:02 the great sound
It doesn't get better than this....if it did I died and went to heaven.....
Fantastic video! I see Chick Corea chewing gum like a baseball player. RIP.
STUNNING !!!!
The gods of music are all here.
Only looking at Sonny Rollins charge me as a Tesla battery.
Rashaan is a bad man...
On any given night he can wipe out anyone..... The Mingus at Carnegie Hall LP shows Roland at full chat.....
WoW! 🙏❤❤❤
Zawinul dressed like a Bedouin is pretty funny.
51:03
"THE ESSENCE OF EXCELLENCE" - IS QUINCY H7MSELF ....(the 7 that came was UNintentional ! ) ...
A great show but someone should have made Chick spit out his gum before his cohosting duties began.
I don't know why that happened either. So unprofessional!
R. I.P. Chick corea 😔🙏
